Few farmers realize how much profit may
be obtained from few fowls properly
kept. Nothing else on the farm pays SO
we'll for the money expended. 10 begin
WITH get pure-bred birds; there is rs much
difference between them and the common
dunghill kind as between Jerseys and
scrub cattle; and | feel as proud of my
Langshans as Of my Holsteins or Poland
Chinas. With eleven hens in one yard we
average seven eggs per day, and the cost
has been between 1 and 5 cents, and as
eggs have been retailing in our home mar
ket at - cents dozen, it is not difficult to
figure out some of the profit, especially as
this has been going on steadily since No
vember l.
In the morning these fowls receive two
quarts of bran, meal, and ground oats
mixed in hot water and fed warm, varied
occasionally with table scraps or boiled
potatoes; at noon they get few handfuls
of wheat oats, and buckwheat in equal
parts, and at night are given whole corn,
warmed if the weather is extremely cold.
My birds are confined in small yards or the
noon meal would be omitted. The time
occupied i'll taking care of the above num-
Der will not exceed ten minutes a day,
everything being arranged for convenience
and dispatch, Us it should be upon the
farm or in the poultry yard. Pure clean
water is given twice a day. These fowls
are healthy and it is real joy to see them.

Much straw in the barnyard is only $,
slightly mixed with manure that it seem,
scarcely worth hauling far for its fertiz
ing value. But it is excellent as a mulch
for newly-set trees, spreading it as far Al
the roots extend, which the first seaso,
will be somewhat further every way than
the holes in which they are planted. Till
will prevent evaporation of moisture fron
the soil, besides letting rains percolat.
through the mulch to the tree roots With
out hardening the surface of the soil.

Cross-Hycd Eggs.

Nearly all the eggs advertised for sale
are of special breeds and purely bred. But
many poultry keepers buy two different
kinds Of eggs for the purpose of crossing
them. The first cross of some varieties is
better for many purposes than the thor
oughbreds, though if continued few years
it produces mongrel stock of inferior
value. 1t is plain that time would be saved
in getting cross-bred stock, if eggs of the
right matings could be purchased, as, for
example crosses of Brown Leghorn with
Plymouth Rock, and then breeding back
with pure-bred mates of one or the other.
When two kinds are thus crossed, no third
variety should be mixed with it. as this
nearly always destroys the excellence of
either for laying. Running after too many
varieties is the great evil in most farmers

Rnsen.cmt Ualks Tor Earns.

There are decided advantages in putting
easements under stock barns aside from
tie large amount of room which they
cheaply furnish. Look at any of the early
made barns to-day and we shall find its
sllls rotted off from nearness to the ground,
while perhaps its upper timbers may be
sound and good. There is always con-
siderable manure thrown out from stock
barns in winter, and if the barn is not on
high walls the timbers are likely to be in
contact with it injuring them more in one
year than would result from several years
exposure to the weather.

teediua Hau Iron, Stacks.

Many turner's, being unable to provide
barns forstorins hay, are compelled to feed
from stacks, with no little waste in windy
weather, aud great discomfort in blizzard.
Mr.. j. Oner, in the Nhentloned Eaglc, to
obviate loss Of hay and avoid exposure in
feeding, makes the following suggestions:
In building Your barn or stable. make two
doors; one for stock to pass in and out, and
one for a feed-room door. In stacking hay
build two stacks about ten feet wide, one
on each side of the feed-room door, with q
space OF five or six feet between stacks.
Build the stack perpendicular on the inside
till about two feet above the door. Then
place poles or scantling across from one
stack to the other and top out the stacks
the same as if one stack, which will leave a
hallway between the stacks to store hay in.
In fair weather cut piece from the end
of the stack furthest from the door and
place in the hallway. Commence feeding
from hay next the door, and when your
supply is nearly exhausted fill up again.
By keeping the fnrthest end from the door
full, your hay will be free from snow, and
rou can feed in the worst blizzard.

Well, there was no better soul in all the
